Sir Talks A Lot

This week one of the girls at daycare told Dad that I was just about the funniest kid at daycare. Dad says she's probably about 4 years old... so she would know. Mom is always laughing at me, so I guess that probably means I am pretty funny.

I have a new face. It's kind of a scrunch face scowl. This photo is the closest thing to what it looks like. Mom and Dad are on a mission now to catch it on camera. Stay tuned.

Other than my new face...and eating all the time, I have been doing lots and lots of talking.

I know lots of words now. Mom swears I learn a new word every single day.

Let's see, you know I can say: Dad-dee, Mum-mee, Naks (snacks), and Mo' Naks (more snacks).

But did you know that I can also say: Ice, Kook-ee, Mok (milk), Cop-core (popcorn), and Ooos (juice)? I call Avery - AAAy-ree...and I say: Bahk bahk - when I see a chicken in my books. I am trying to learn the word snake, but it keeps coming out sounding like Guk.

I love my books. I am always asking Mom and Dad to read to me. My favorite book right now is "Where the Wild Things Are"... we read that book at daycare too. Sandy (my daycare teacher) says I am very advanced because I sit very quietly like the big kids and pay close attention when she reads the morning story.

Nice Spring Weather

We had some really nice days this week. I spent some time outside hanging out on the deck. Well, mostly I spent time running back and forth across the deck making Mom and Dad nervous that I would go running off the edge. But, I always stopped, just in time.

Spring Sunglasses

Mom, Dad, Auntie Chels, and I went to the grocery store this weekend. I got some new sunglasses. I made lots of faces when I was trying them on. Mom, Dad, and Auntie Chels were really laughing at me.

These sunglasses are really cool. Everything looks yellowish when I am wearing them.

Be honest: Do you think these make my eyes look big??

More Snacks

Snacks, snacks, snacks....I love snacks!

My new favorite thing to say is: "Mo' naks"

Translation: MORE snacks!

Avery loves snacks too!

I like to keep my snacks up high so Avery can't eat them. I keep my drinks up high so Avery doesn't spill them on the carpet...

Dad - The Photographer

Awwwwwwww.

Cousin Jack's 6th B-Day

Here is a photo of me at Jack's Birthday Party on Saturday. I had a really good time playing with all of Jack and Henry's toys and talking to all of the kids.

Jack got a new BMX bike for his birthday.

Henry had to try it out while Jack was putting on his helmet...

Once a Jamba Lover, Always a Jamba Lover

I really love my Jamba juice. Raspberry Lime Sublime. Yummmm!

The Latest and Greatest

Guess what? Mom and Dad are spending lots of time running these days...running after ME!!!!!

I run everywhere now. All over the house. Running is the best way to get from here to there. I run after Avery, and Mingus, and even Kali. Mom and Dad run after me and then I run after them. Running is fun.

Making faces is also lots of fun.

I've been learning lots of new words. I can say "more" now as I sign it.

Hugs for Sponge Bob.

Mom and Dad

Everyone's always asking...so here's a photo of Mom and Dad (taken at Alli and Barrett's wedding in Aberdeen)

Playing in my PJs at the Beach.

I spent the weekend with Grandpa Dean and Grandma Trudie at the beach house so Mom and Dad could go to Alli and Barrett's wedding in Aberdeen. I showed Grandma and Grandpa all of my best tricks.

Grandma let me play with her Sponge Bob sponge in the bath tub. I went to the beach to go clam digging but it was really windy so I stayed in the truck with Aunt Carrie.

By the end of the weekend I could say "grandpa" - which was a real crowd pleaser.

Grumpy Faces

I've been kind of cranky this week. I must be getting more teeth. They have really been bothering me.

And then Mom is always trying to get me to smile for the camera and that just makes me MAD. Knock it off Mom, it's not funny - my teeth hurt!

Just get me some ice or something will ya!

Walking and Talking

I've been doing lots of walking and lots of talking.

And building lots of towers with my blocks...and then knocking them down.

Talk talk talk.

No one can really understand what I'm saying though - and that is getting really frustrating.

Sunday Snacks

These are photos that Dad took this morning. I was having some snacks in my pjs.

My favorite snack right now is freeze dried raspberries. Mom buys them at Whole Foods and they are delicious!

I like to share my snacks with Avery but he doesn't really like these raspberries, which works out great for me because then I get to eat more of them myself.

A New Attitude

My hair is getting long again but Mom and Dad have decided they aren't going to cut it for awhile. Mom wants to see what it looks like when it's longer, so we're letting it grow.

She put some funny stuff in it this weekend and when she was finished both she and Dad were laughing and laughing at me.

Give a kid a faux-hawk and put him in a black shirt and it's like instant attitude.

Of course I made some ham faces and that made Mom and Dad laugh even harder. I was in rare form.

Hanging in My Room

We had a fun weekend. I have been quite the little turkey. Constantly surprising Mom and Dad with my comprehension skills. I am babbling all the time now. I am also doing lots of sign language. "Please" is a good one. Especially when I do the sign for "Einstein" and Mom tells me "Not now Colton"...then I sign "Please" and that gets her every time.

These photos were taken in my bedroom. We hung out in my room on Saturday after my morning nap. Here's a photo of me with my horse Gus. Grandma Joy sent him to me for Valentine's Day last year.

I get cuter and cuter every day don't you think?

Latest Antics

I've been doing lots of talking, talking, talking!




I know who Sponge Bob is! I just started pointing him out and saying "BUM Bah" - which if you spoke coltonese you would know is "Sponge Bob".

...Coltonese is a tricky language, but I think Mom and Dad are finally starting to catch on.









Let's see, what else is new:



I have been doing some teething lately (as you can see by all of the drool in these photos).



We got a new refrigerator on Saturday (Mom and Dad like it a lot). We had to get out the coolers so that we could store all of the freezer contents while they delivered the new 'fridge and took away the old one. I was a big help to Dad when it came time to load the cooler.




























And I've also been practicing my harmonica. I'm getting really good at playing it...and I've been doing some drumming too.
